Generation VI

In Generation VI, Rock Smash is again a field move, and now there are also cracked walls and boulders that can be smashed with the move. There are two kinds of smashable rocks that can reveal different Pokémon and items.

Shiftry smashes its hand into the ground. An invisible blast travels underground to the opponent and explodes underneath the opponent, making pieces of rocks fly at them, or Shiftry smashes its hand into the ground and flings rocks at the opponent.

Gurdurr smashes its steel beam into the ground and raises one of its arms. It then clenches its fist and it starts to glow orange. Gurdurr then charges forward and delivers a powerful punch to the opponent.

Palpitoad jumps at the opponent and its tail starts to glow white. The white glow then fades, leaving its tail glowing red-orange. Palpitoad then flips around vertically and slams its tail into the opponent.

The gems on the top of Boldore's body glow bright orange and it jumps at the opponent. One or both of the legs on the side of its body then glow red-orange or blue and it stabs the opponent with the tip of one or both of its legs.
